A Doggone Good Cake

No puppy birthday celebration (or any party, for that matter) is complete without a delicious cake. This treat is full of ingredients dogs crave for a snack they won’t be able to resist.

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour

1½ teaspoons baking powder

2 eggs

¼ cup vegetable oil

⅓ cup apple sauce

⅓ cup smooth peanut butter, unsalted (plus more for frosting)

1 cup shredded apple

2 tablespoons honey

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line a round cake pan with parchment paper, spray lightly with non-stick spray, and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Add in the eggs, oil, and apple sauce, and mix well. Once the mixture is well combined, add in the peanut butter, and stir. Fold in the apple and honey.

Pour the batter into the cake pan, and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 3–5 minutes in the pan, remove, and let cool completely on a wire rack.

To decorate, slice the cake into four different layers, frost with the additional peanut butter, and stack on top of one another.
